About
Based in Woodbury, New York, the client exercises a wholesale business of sports goods and equipment alongside footwear. The business is managed offline and involves a store supplying products to the retail market spread all over the USA. The operation is running pretty well and the client has even claimed to have produced an annual revenue of 2 million dollars in just 10 years.
Project Highlights
So, since the client already has an established offline business base, we had to translate in the online arena.. Our Magento developer at Brainvire ensured that the performance is further boosted with the addition of multiple extensions.
The Challenges
- Building a B2B eCommerce storeThe wholesalers who the products were sold to could not see the goods they were buying, thus remaining blind to several necessary details.
- Working with a large number of recordsInitially, for every possible contrast in the configurable products, there were a huge number of product items, each having multiple images. This required handling of around a million records using CRON jobs from Salewarp.
- Features that are not available offlineOffline trade of goods lacked attributes that, if used, can enhance business processes.
- Offline operations slowed down the processSeveral offline operations required manual intervention and a longer span of time as compared to online alternatives.
